Chelmer is an old, established suburb with some superb old houses. It is a very family-orientated suburb with plenty of schools, churches, community halls, little shopping malls, a great cafe society with interesting choice of cuisine. There are extensive parklands, playing fields, playgrounds, sporting facilities and clubs. Active sports are evident from early in the morning with canoeing, rowing, sailing, cycling and running/walking.
Public transport is within easy access.

Welcome to my Riverfront Paradise close to the City!
This house was built in 1933. It has character though not modern. I live here because the view and area is priceless. If you feel nature is more important than new paint and amenities, you are very welcome.
The Rooms and House:
Spacious room facing N/E with a queen size bed that accommodates a single person or a couple. This bedroom is the most private of the three, with two separate doors and access to nearest bathroom outside the room. Entrance to bathroom is in the garden, but facilities are attached to the house. I assume the bathroom was built onto the original house for use of a person living downstairs and not having access to upstairs bathroom. It consists of separate toilet/basin and separate shower - two little rooms. The bedroom has two doors, separating it from the kitchen. My kitchen pantry is between two sets of doors, though I try to access it when guests are out.
The house is in a leafy, quiet area, near park lands and river sports, and it's close to all amenities and transport. We have a large garden on riverfront. The house is in a safe and peaceful location.
Parking- for guests with hire car or own car
no undercover parking, but plenty of street parking in a quiet street
There are three eating areas, the dining room, one on the patio, and one table setting in the garden. You can, of course, use the kitchen any time you wish and I can provide food for breakfast, for the first couple of days.
During school terms, I begin my day early, and I am not available to assist guests with breakfast, though I may leave food for you, if you wish.
Transport:
City 15 mins away by bus or train. It is just 6 stops on the train into the city. House just 15 min walking from Chelmer train station.
Amenities:
Cafes, theatres nearby, internet available. There are playing fields nearby, golf course, Queensland Tennis Centre, rowing and sailing facilities.
Activities:
Cycling and walking paths, extensive parkland around the corner. Major shopping centre is across the bridge, lots of little shopping areas nearby.

Chelmer is an established suburb with many beautiful homes, some old, some new of various styles. My area is flat and faces East. On other side of the railway is the Western part of the suburb which is quite a different character. Two suburbs away - Sherwood - area becomes hilly. There is the Sherwood Arboretum along the river which is a huge park and above is a lookout over city and mountains.
Down one street from house is popular cafe/gift shop. Local shopping area is Riverside Shopping Centre, 5 minutes by bike, about 15 minutes by foot. Enormous shopping complex is one suburb away, one stop by train or can be reached by walking, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre.

Staying at Lorraine's place added lots of value to our short city trip to Brisbane. The house is beautiful (breakfast with river view!) and it was great to explore the suburb along the river on the bicycles. Lorraine was very friendly, went out of her way to help us, and was keen to share stories about last year's floods (which had such a great impact on many peoples' lives, but is hardly noticeable when going around as a tourist). Recommended to anyone for short or longer stays!

Mattijs2012-07-08T00:00:00Z

Lorraine was the perfect host. The room was fantastic, the location made it easy to get into the city (about a 15 minute walk to the train station if you walk fast like me) and my only regret is that I didn't stay longer.

Angelina2013-08-18T00:00:00Z

Lorraine made us feel very welcome and comfortable, it was like dropping in on an old friend. We had tea on the deck looking over the river, so peaceful. Comfy room and bed,plenty of space,easy to find and felt private. If we are in the area again I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you Lorraine.

Tracey2016-06-14T00:00:00Z

Lorraine was very kind and went out of her way to ensure that we were comfortable.

Scott2014-06-04T00:00:00Z

Very helpful host who insisted on giving us lifts. Gave us a lot of information about the area. She was lovely!

Beth2013-11-19T00:00:00Z

Beautiful location by the river. Eating breakfast at the porch overlooking Brisbane river is to die for. There's a possum that sleep at the porch and all kinds of other wildlife to look at. Lorraine is an amazing host, very friendly and helpful. Thank you.

Joanna2017-01-30T00:00:00Z

The house is located next to the Brisbane river. Ideal position for those commuting into the city. Close to train station, shopping centres and gymnasium. The listing provided did not match the actual house condition. An update of photo's of all living areas should be provided. Bathroom/Kitchen was in an unhygienic condition.

Genevieve2016-09-26T00:00:00Z

Lorraine's house was just perfect for my stay & my needs. I was in Brisbane studying at a summer school course. Would gladly stay again when next in the area. A lovely location.

Graceville residence is a leafy quiet suburb and is your home away from home, it's a comfortable, self-contained , fully-appointed downstairs on the ground floor of a two story home with its own private French door entrance. I live in the upstairs area and you will have the entire bottom floor to yourself.
Cafés, restaurants, shops, Graceville train station, bus stop and parks are all within 5 -10 minutes leisurely walk. BNE CBD,15-20 min. by train.

Graceville is a safe, leafy green suburb in the “Goldilocks zone” of Brisbane - at 8 km from the CBD it’s close enough to all the amenities, culture and action of the city, yet somewhat isolated in a pocket of suburbia with a village atmosphere. It’s a protected heritage suburb with many renovated “timber and tin” Queenslander style homes built in the pre-1945 era.
Our home is situated in the centre of Graceville, close to the train station, bike paths, the river, parks, shops, an art-house cinema, sporting venues, great restaurants and cafés.

We spent three nights at this wonderful place. Everything was fantastic. Jayne is lovely, and made everything happen very smoothly from check-in to check-out. We especially appreciated being able to bring our dog along for the stay. Her home had all we could ask for and more. The bed is really comfortable, plenty of pillows and blankets, and the bedroom was dark and quiet at night. We slept very well! There are many extra comforts too. We loved the fluffy towels, the shower with good water pressure and hot water, and the hairdryer. We had a variety of choices for breakfast: cereals, yogurt, milk, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, juices, toast and a selection of jams, cheese, etc... the fully stocked fridge and pantry were truly exceptional. There was even ice cream in the freezer, complimentary chocolates and a bottle of wine. I would highly recommend Jayne's home. It would be ideal for a longer stay too! We wish we could've spent a few more nights. Thank you, Jayne, for making us feel at home, and for all the care and thoughtfulness you have put into your Graceville residence. Cheers, Karin, Brian & Murray

Karin2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Jayne's place was perfect for our needs in s suburban location that suited us for a family gathering. It was a lovely area and we enjoyed being able to walk to the river. Everything is as described. Highly recommended and really good value.

Christine2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

This was a beautiful home to stay in. Very clean, very welcoming and the moment you walk in you can feel that are now in your home away home. The train station was an easy 10-15 minute walk, which made travel through Brisbane very convenient. Small shops and restaurants are about 5 minutes in one direction and just on the other side of the train station. If you are looking to get away from the city, but still have the option to explore it with convenience than this your place. I highly recommend a stay in Jayne's home.

Anthony2017-07-27T00:00:00Z

Jayne is amazing! So friendly and helpful. I can't recommend her lovely home enough.

Natasha2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Jayne is a wonderful host. Communicates very well and is very thoughtful. The place is great. Clean and very well located; close to public transport and cafes. If we need a place to stay in graceville again, we will be staying with Jayne! Many thanks Jayne!

Andrea2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Perfect experience!Jayne is a awesome host and easy to get in touched during the day\nights.We were shocked by fully filled fridge with many kinds of juice、bread、milk and biscuits when we first arrived. It' s good located,minutes walks to resteraunt and gym. My kids enjoyed playing trampline in the backyard and the lovely dog Max is nice.We look forward to going back to Graceville Residence soon!

Xia2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

Jayne is such an attentive host - she messaged us the week before and even offered recommendations for breakfast spots. Her place was very clean and had everything (including wine, snacks and Netflix!). I would easily come back here if I could! The location is also very convenient and in a safe and quiet neighbourhood.

Shaminka2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

I instead booking this house for my friend Lily's family, they stayed 2 times, it is here. The following is her evaluation: "Kids cant wait to go back Jayne's house,they missed everything there:cute black dog Max、sweet girl Lucy、trampline in the back garden.......The hosts are always friendly and the fridge is always full.Twenty days passed so quickly and we are looking forward to having another chance to come back next year."

My place is close to walking and bike tracks on the Brisbane river, family-friendly activities, public transport, cafes and restaurants, shops and the city centre. You’ll love my place because of it's location and on site facilities. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers, however not children. Guests must like dogs as I have a German Shepard puppy. Off street parking and additional storeage available if required. Shared laundry room, BBQ and salt water pool.

The studio is at the rear of my historic home. It is joined to the main house by a covered deck, however is completely separate.

It's a lovely quite area, close to the river with lots of cafes and restaurants within a 1km radius

This studio apartment is fantastic. It has everything you need. It is extremely clean and neat and Leanne is an amazing host. She is so friendly and more than happy to help with anything that you need or advice that you may need. We loved how central this place was. It is right by the bus stop and such easy walking distance to the train station. There are also such lovely routes to run and walk along that go through parks and even along the river. It's a very quiet area and lots of bird life. We originally booked for a week but ended up staying to two weeks as we really enjoyed it.

Jenna 2017-06-29T00:00:00Z

Leanne was an amazing host, very friendly and helpful. Her dog, Zara, was very well-behaved and a true pleasure to have in our company. We spent a lot of our time out on the patio just enjoying the sound of birds singing. It was very peaceful despite being fairly close to the city.

Katrina2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Leanne's place was a great start to our trip in Australia. Our plane from the UK was delayed by an hour, so we didn't reach Leanne's until approx 9pm at night, but she was very understanding. Her lovely dog Zara was a pleasure to be around, she's very well behaved and loves having a play every now and then. Unfortunately due to the ceiling/fan lights being quite low and myself and my partner quite tall, the lightshade on the fan was smashed. We paid Leanne to replace this which she was very grateful for and she was very understanding about the lightshade. The house itself is in a very quiet area with not that much around by foot, however public transport is great and the train station is a short walk away. Leanne was a great host and even took us to see the kangaroos in the wild in her spare time which was very generous. Would definitely recommend if looking for something quiet and relaxed.

Nicole2017-04-18T00:00:00Z

Leanne's place was so nice and cosy! Very clean, friendly and Leanne was always very keen on helping us with more than we could ask for. Beautiful quiet location with great connections. We would definitely stay there again! We will miss playing with Zara too.

Richard2017-03-16T00:00:00Z

Everything we expected cosy and clean .. Zara (family pet) lovely

Leigh2017-04-09T00:00:00Z

We have just spent two four nights stays at Leeanne's place. The accommodation is comfortable, cosy and clean. Sitting outside on the decking whether eating or just chilling is made all the more enjoyable by having our wee Aussie House mate Zara to keep us company. We are both smitten by her ❤️️. We have had a very relaxing stay here, Leeanne is a great host, and couldn't do enough for us. If we come back to Brisbane again we will definitely stay here.

Paula2017-02-23T00:00:00Z

Leanne is a warm and inviting host. My in-laws stayed here for a few nights and had a wonderful time. They commented every day about the great sleep they'd had and that the bed was so comfortable. Graceville is a beautiful location.

Marta2016-12-11T00:00:00Z

I had a lovely, deep sleep in this studio for work. It was very quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The Graceville area is very pretty and beautiful along the river. Leanne is a great host, clear in communication and meeting me to give me keys. Zara, her dog is just beautiful! Thankyou so much, I would be happy to stay again sometime.

Your home away from home is a comfortable, self-contained, fully-appointed flat on the ground floor of a two story home with its own private entrance and large patio. Cafés, restaurants, shops, an arthouse cinema, train station, bus stop and parks are all within 5 minutes leisurely walk. The Brisbane CBD is only 15-20 minutes by train. Ample on-street parking. Solar power, solar hot water, non-toxic (zero VOC) materials, finishes and furnishings throughout.

Your home away from home is a comfortable, self-contained, fully-appointed flat on the ground floor of a two story home with its own private entrance and large patio. The internal living space is 55sqm comprising two decent sized bedrooms (one with a queen bed, the other with a single bed), one bathroom (with shower), living room, and kitchen/dining room. Each room has a ceiling fan. The bedrooms have ample storage for suitcases and clothes.
The space has polished wooden floors throughout and is tastefully furnished and decorated in a modern country style. Your private covered patio is 40sqm and a great place to chillax in the semi-outdoors. The house is 100% powered by solar energy, was fully renovated in 2010 with passive solar design in mind, and we’ve used eco-friendly materials where possible (zero VOC paints, locally sourced solid wood rather than formaldehyde-containing MDF, natural rather than synthetic fibers etc). It’s eco-friendly, but still retains the old-world charm and character of the original 1930s home.

Quaint little "cottage" feel apartment, with good quality appliances. Extremely clean and tidy, with lovely friendly hosts. The extra touches of providing coffee and tea, salt & pepper, jams and sauces in the fridge to tin foil and cling wrap, are very thoughtful.

MJ2017-03-06T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely home with easy access to the train station. The hosts kindly provided thoughtful extras such as tea, coffee and fresh fruit. The flat is well equipped and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed our stay here. Thank you so much!

Stefan2017-03-23T00:00:00Z

We came to Brisbane for Summer School and needed a place that was close to our venue Saint Aiden's Girls Grammar. We wanted more than one bedroom and something with full amenities so we could be private and study. Brian & Kaja's place met all our requirements. We found comfort and quiet and it was close to shops and restaurants, we could walk or drive. All in all a perfect stay for us.

Cheryl2017-01-13T00:00:00Z

Very well appointed accommodation with lots of little extras that really made it feel like a home away from home. Great location close to the shops and restaurants in walking distance.

Kelly2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Josephine's place in Sherwood. The accommodation is in a beautiful and quiet location, only about a 15-20 minute drive into central Brisbane and fitted with modern appliances. The unit is very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Josephine is a lovely, thoughtful and communicative host. She made sure we had everything we needed and we felt at home away from home. Would definitely stay here again.

Suhasini2017-03-13T00:00:00Z

Josephine's place is amazing! It is so quaint and the shower...amazing. We utilized the pool which was great as well and Josephine gave us a great recommendation for a Friday night fish fry that was within walking distance! Would stay there again 100% next time I am in Brisbane.

It's a nice comfy spot where you'll feel relaxed either kicking back in the hammock or spread out on the couch watching a movie. I'm very laid back and always happy to either have a chat over a beer or give you space to do your own thing. Nice restaurants, coffee shops and Woolworths are only a 5 mins walk away. If you like to cook there's a full kitchen that you're welcome to use. The train is a 5 min walk away and it'll get you into the centre of Brisbane in 20 mins.

We loved staying with Steve. It was a quite and family friendly area and not far away by train into the city centre. The price level was really good for the room as well. We also very enjoyed playing with Darcy and Flyn and having nice chats with Steve. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come again. Annki and Joost

Ann-Kathrin2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

tiziana2017-06-30T00:00:00Z

Steve is a great guy to have a honest yarn with about life. He has easy going pets too. The house is a good comfy place to cook a meal & watch a little TV.

Joshua2017-05-10T00:00:00Z

The room is clean and big, and the cozy bed is great. The shared living room and kitchen have everything you need, we even baked cakes in some days. What a leisure holiday... The location of house is very convenience where is near to train station and shops around 5 to 10 mins. Going to CBD is just around 20 mins by train. Besides the hardware, Steve is a very nice man who is helpful for everything. And his pets, Darcy and Flynn are friendly (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) to live with too. Definitely I will live in Steve's house when I come to Brisbane again.

Miles2017-07-19T00:00:00Z

I like the house because there is a train station just 50m away and very easy to take a train to the city. Also, Nigel has a very cute daughter and he loves her very much. the most important thing is,Nigel lived in China for many years and I feel very comfortable to talking with him.

A beautiful split level brick 4 bedroom home with exposed wooden floors and a private verandah at the back of the house looking out to Mt Coot-tha. There is lots of natural light with green leafy views out all of the windows. The garden has lots of trees and there is a bush block and park lands directly opposite with many different birds. Nice to go for walks.

Fig Tree Pocket is a beautiful, quiet, leafy suburb of Brisbane. It is just near the river and has the feel of a rural idyll. The Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary is just down the road and hosts Wednesday evening farmers markets. There is beautiful parkland across the road. Its a very secure place with hardly any crime.

Liked that there was a creek walk so close to the house. It would be great for families visiting Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary

We thought Jennys townhouse great value for what it provided. We loved the pool/bbq area which was a great place to unwind. Our visit was booked at the last minute so it really helped to have prompt replies, highly recommend.,

Diane2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

We thoroughly enjoyed our night at Jenny's. We were made very comfortable and welcome.

Michael2016-01-09T00:00:00Z

The apartment was even better than the photos. Spacious and very clean, comfy beds, modern amenities and awesome balcony/outdoor setting. Michelle was fast and efficient with communication, and lovely to deal with.

Gayle2015-08-05T00:00:00Z

Michelle was an awesome host, she was easy to get in touch with at any time of the day/night. The apartment was clean and tidy and suitable for any family. It was also easy to get to.

Kylie2017-07-02T00:00:00Z

Great, prompt communicator and the apartment was perfect location-wise, in terms of cleanliness and and met all of our needs. We'll be back!

Simon2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

The apartment was as we expected and enjoyed our time there. Would recommend it highly.

Elizabeth2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

This is my second stay in Sherwood at Michelle's apartment. As before, it was immaculately clean, has every amenity you could hope for, Brisbane's best coffee just up the street... And Michelle herself is an absolute legend - so kind and helpful, with fast communication and super simple handover of keys. It's a beautiful place to stay, very quiet and secure, and I very much enjoy my time there. Sherwood is a lovely suburb as well with good food and everything you could want nearby, not to mention being an easy 20 minute drive to the heart of the city. Can't wait to stay again!

Gayle2015-12-01T00:00:00Z

A beautiful apartment which must be fairly new, with good quality fittings, large screen TV and sound system. We were only using it as a base for sleeping and breakfast, as our Son & Daughter-in-Law live fairly close. They go to bed early with their new baby, but we had work to do via the internet back in the UK, which involved us staying up late. The free wifi turned out to be very reliable, and fairly fast. The pool & BBQ area looked very nice. We would thoroughly recommend this apartment and hope to stay there again. The only adverse comment would be the early morning sound of the communal garage door going up and down, which could be heard in the second bedroom. But this did not bother us.

Robert2016-05-06T00:00:00Z

This unit is ideally located, spacious and homely. However, the unit on our visit was dirty and no care had been taken in cleaning. There were literally crumbs on the bench tops, mould in main bathroom and kitchen sinks and the floors were filthy. The owner provided a $40 refund for cleaning but considering the cleaning charge and the cleanliness of the unit, left us feeling like we were being taken advantage of. The owner was fantastic with customer service and instructions for check in and departure. The unit is great, has everything you need with a family, just needs a better cleaner.

BEDROOM 1 - Roomy, bright and clean with fresh 'beach' style decor. This large room has a Queen bed which is new and comfortable. There's a TV, a wall fan with remote control and in winter an oil or fan heater if required. (See 'air-con' below).
Bedroom has lockable sliding door to enter/exit room from outdoor courtyard. Courtyard has table and chairs and beautiful garden to relax by as well as extra entry-gate to pool area. Bedroom door opens onto kitchenette and this room is next to Bedroom 2.
Spare pillows, games, heater and blankets in the wardrobe. Soap, shampoo, conditioner, towel, hand towel, face washer etc. all set out for you on arrival. There's bedside drawers as well and lots of shelving in the wardrobe. We try to keep up-to-date things-to-do in Brisbane as well as info on local cafes and restaurants in a booklet in your room.
BEDROOM 2 - spacious bedroom with 2 King-Single comfortable beds. Tropical themed decor. Room has a wardrobe, a bedside table between beds, a set of drawers with a mirror and a desk with 2 chairs.
KITCHENETTE - A modern kitchenette for your use is right outside your bedroom, with basic cooking facilities, including a microwave, plug-in dual hotplate, toasted sandwich maker, food processor, blender, coffee plunger & ground coffee, cutlery, crockery, muesli, bread, butter, condiments and milk. We provide 1 loaf of bread, 1 box of muesli and 1 litre of milk for your stay. After this, you will need to buy your own. Everything else we will keep well stocked while you are here. You shouldn't run out but if you do, just ask and we will replenish.
There is a medium fridge/freezer with space available for your items and a there's a wall cupboard for all your food storage. The kitchenette drawers contain all pots and pans for cooking, crockery, cutlery and glassware, storage containers and utensils.
BATHROOMS - You have the very clean downstairs bathroom and toilet to yourselves but occasionally a family member may use it (unlikely). The bathroom and toilet are both lockable. If you needed to, you could use our upstairs bathroom and toilet. You have your own space in the bathroom cupboards to put your toiletries while staying.
DOWNSTAIRS AREA - Unless there's laundry to do, you won't see much of us downstairs. The whole area is for your use as you will see when you arrive. We don't have a lounge area as such but there are many places to relax in and outside as we will show you. Outside there's a BBQ you're welcome to use. This has a separate burner for pots/frypans, a BBQ plate/grill and a cover so you can use it as an oven. The tank is full for each guest. If you use the whole tank while staying, we ask you to to refill it before you leave.
Outside in the tropical garden courtyard you come through from your downstairs entrance/exit (also off bedroom 2) is a large outdoor table and chairs for your use, as well as two large Hammocks to relax in under the trees, in the dappled sunlight. This area is near the BBQ so a lovely place for you to relax in and enjoy life.
UPSTAIRS - You are more than welcome to come upstairs anytime you should like. There's a day-bed on the balcony you can use that gets the sun in winter and there are relaxing chairs for your use on the balcony as well.
RELAX - Outside from the kitchenette/laundry is a washing line and to the right of this is the back yard with a park bench and beautiful garden/grassed area and pond for you to relax in. Turn on the pond fountain and take in the serenity. You can also relax by the pool...
POOL area - To the left of the washing line is a gate that takes you through to the pool area where you can swim or just sit at the table and chairs and enjoy your meals and a glass of beer or wine , or simply just relax in the outdoor chairs as the sun goes down. Our guests love this space and we love seeing them enjoy it.
There are lots of places to relax in our home and we love to see guests using our facilities. Please make yourself at home!
BRISBANE - Brisbane is a beautiful city on the banks of the Brisbane River. On your desk is a booklet that has a few ideas for visiting Brisbane. Such as Southbank, ferry rides, art galleries etc. Please ask us and we will be sure to assist with any of this.
AIR-CON in summer - while your room doesn't itself have air conditioning, the upstairs area does. When days are very hot you have the choice of shutting your windows and opening your bedroom door to the air conditioning throughout the house. Cold air drops and our guests find it very pleasant. At night when it is cooler you can open your windows again and shut your door to sleep if you wish. We find this works well.

Our neighborhood is safe. It's clean and it's quiet and neighbours know each other well. We have lived here 16 years and love Sherwood. It's really quite special. It's very green and leafy and close to all amenities and an amazing park you don't want to miss.
A nice place to come to rest and have some quiet but close enough to the city and local shops that you can get into the action in about 7 minutes. It's always such a special feeling coming home.
You can't come to Sherwood without visiting the lovely Sherwood Forest or 'Arboretum'. This is a 2-3 minute walk down hill and a delightful stroll around the river and duck ponds and waterways. A lovely park with BBQ's and playgrounds.

Our home would be good for couples, solo adventurers, and business travellers. Children welcome however we don't have stair guards or cots. You would need to provide these. The room is large with its own private bathroom. The property has an amazing pool, gym, bbq area and is right beside Sherwood's parklands and river pathways. Lots of cafes, Rocklea farmers market every Saturday and Sunday shopping and sporting/entertainment close by or take the train to the city in just 18 minutes.

Ann's place was great, the room was spacious and included an ensuite all with easy access from the front door. Ann is a great hostess very friendly and I would recommend her place to anyone.

John2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

Ann (and Monty) were great hosts! Very pleasant place to stay, comfortable, clean and everything I needed for my quick stay. Overall a great experience, thanks so much Ann!

Either for business or for holiday, I am sure that you will love this location. It takes you less than 5 minutes to the train station straight to the city/from the airport; 10 mins walk to one of the biggest shopping centre in Brisbane; and 2 mins to bus stop that will drive you to UQ or toward city. I have a high standard of the cleanliness for both the room and the house. My place is ideal for couples and solo adventurers.

I have some baby stuffs (pram, baby carseat, baby bath tub) that can be used as long as my kids are not using them. Please also feel free to use our eating utensils and the basic amenities.
Our unit is Air-Conditioned. However, the AC is located in the living room, and I can prepared pedestal fan in the bedroom if needed (unless it's in the peak of summer, we are rarely using fan).

Located in the corner of the street, it is an easy access to go everywhere by train or by bus. Even if you choose to walk, plenty of restaurants are available within walking distance from Sendok Garpu (Indonesian cuisine restaurant; less than 2 mins walk), Thai Restaurant, Wray Organic, or other fast foods (McDonalds, KFC, Red Roosters). Chemist warehouse (the cheapest pharmacy in Queensland) is within 5-10 mins walk.

Nice spare room in an apartment, 5 mins walk from Indooroopilly station. Just stayed for a night because I needed to be nearby the following morning, but Karel was a great guy who I had an interesting chat with and the place was just what I needed.

Indooroopilly is one of the loveliest and most desirable suburbs in Brisbane. Like it's neighbour, St Lucia, Indooroopilly is nestled along an expanse of the undulating Brisbane river and is very close to the Brisbane CBD yet offers a peaceful and quiet retreat to its residents.
As the largest retail and entertainment precinct west of the Brisbane CBD, Indooroopilly Shopping Centre, is a major drawcard and is surrounded by many retailers, and small businesses. Some of the most prestigious schools in Brisbane are located in Indooroopilly, including St Peter's Lutheran College, and Nudgee Junior. Indooroopilly is also home to Queensland's Premier Golf Club, Indooroopilly Golf Club, which happens to sit on some of the most valuable land in Brisbane. The University of Queensland is also super convenient to access being only a 10 minute bus ride.
There is so much to love about Indooroopilly. If you take the time to have a good look around, we're sure you'll love it too.

Very close to shopping center and railway station. Located in a quiet and neat residence. Very nice staying experience

Charlie2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

Staying at Ricky's apartment was one of the best travel experience we have ever had! Starting with the excellent communication with Ricky where he answered all our questions, to arriving and pickings us up in front of the building to his beautiful apartment. It could not have been better. Everything about the aparment and Ricky was excellent. We never wanted to leave. Thanks for your hospitality.

Only 12km to the centre of Brisbane city with Sherwood and Corinda train stations within walking distance of my place. Southbank is a short 15 minute drive away. Coffee shops, restaurants and shopping is also walking distance.. You’ll love my place because of the neighbourhood and the comfortable beds and private living space

The main living space upstairs is a 100 year old cottage with timber floors and high ceilings. The main bedroom with ensuite is upstairs with the kitchen, dining and lounge areas. There are 2 single bedrooms downstairs with a separate TV room (with sofa bed).

Close to train stations, shops and cafes. My townhouse is part of a small townhouse complex (only 4) with friendly neighbours.

Convenient and well equipped house. Good location close to nice neighbourhood shopping street.

Bertel2016-08-10T00:00:00Z

House was a lovely bright space, would certainly recommend to others. Kym was really easy to deal with, and key pick up was easy. No issues at all.

Rachael2016-10-29T00:00:00Z

I was very happy with the accomodation, the location and the overall experience.

Sean2016-07-31T00:00:00Z

It was a nice stay at Kym'a. Her house is very tidy and comfy, it's not to far from city as well. Kym's really nice and helpful person!! My friends and I highly recommend this place!
